Defining a Hyperlink for Hierarchical Modeling

Defining a Hyperlink

To link an activity to a subprocess to be performed at that activity, please do the following:

  1. Select the activity you wish to link to a subprocess.
  2. From the Visio Insert ribbon select the Hyperlink button (Press Ctrl+K).

  1. If you wish to link to a subprocess in another Visio file, enter the Visio file name in the Address field or click on its Browse button and select the name of the file.
  2. If you wish to link to a subprocess on another page of the same Visio file, enter the page number in the Sub-address field or click on its Browse button and select the page name.
  3. Enter an optional description which will be the name displayed in the menu for selecting the subprocess.

  1. Click OK when finished.

Please note: You can link other files to activities as hyperlinks (plain graphics can be linked to separate Visio documents with no effect on the model).

 

Now when you move the mouse cursor over the activity it turns into a hyperlink symbol designating that a hyperlink has been defined for the activity. To go to the hyperlinked page or file, right click on the activity and select the hyperlink name that now appears in the shortcut menu.

Removing/Disabling a Hyperlink

If you no longer want an activity to use a linked subprocess, and instead use its own defined processing, you may either delete the hyperlink or unselect the Use Submodel check box in the activities properties dialog.
